Several methods implemented BasicComboBoxUI determine
size information for the combo box by iterating through
all elements in the combo-box. This prohibits
dynamic loading of large lists of items to a client
PC.

Specifically, the methods are:

protected Dimension getMaxPreferredSize()
protected Dimension getMaxMinimumSize()
protected Dimension getMaxMaximumSize()

In addition, there is no way to specifiy fixed
height and width to the JList portion of the
combo-box. Without this, the JList determines
the layout for itself by going through each item.
